A must for wildlife experts.
Great read.
A vividly written account of an amazing man.
I first discovered Gordon Buchanan's work on Big Cat Diary, and then with his film Eagle Island around 2005 as a result of that & his Springwatch work, we took the first of numerous holiday trips to the Isle of Mull. In 2008 I worked on a local Springwatch project & with my teenage daughter, met & worked alongside Gordon. Since then my daughter & I have attended many of his talks & lectures & loved the "Family & Me" series.So when I saw he was bringing out a book about his life, I was keen to get a copy. I knew a little about his early start in Wildlife work as I have Nick Gordon's books about his work in the Bolo.What I hadn't expected was the sheer honesty and openness of Gordon Buchanan's book, about his childhood & upbringing, his young life on Mull, and the deep lows of his depression in later adult life. There is much about wildlife experiences, some "advice" on getting into nature camera work & the pros and cons of doing the job. Anecdotes abound regarding his better known experiences such as the polar bear filming from inside the perspex cube, and his close encounters with wolves and bears.But there is much much more in this book! I was moved, I laughed, I read bits out loud to my husband in bed, and I am re-reading the book having galloped through it the first time.If you only know Gordon from Springwatch or the Family & Me series, do buy this brilliant book. If I could give more than 5 stars I would do!
Fabulous read, loved every page
I absolutely loved this book. Gordon shares key moments in his life with raw honesty- often heartbreaking- but often also with a good sense of humour that made me giggle. From a difficult but in a way also carefree childhood to finding his feet in his profession, the message I took away is that if you persevere and don't give up, you can achieve anything. Going through a rough time in my life at the moment, the book could not have landed in my hands at a better time and gave me some hope and comfort, as cheesy as this might sound. The only thing I did not like was when I finished the book.Ignore the one and two star ratings. I suspect that the individuals did not even read the book and certainly did not leave a review.Thank you, Gordon for sharing your life story with us and putting yourself out there. You are an inspiration ❤️

Fast delivery and a good read
Fascinating read
Bought this book as a present for my girlfriend for Valentine's as we are both fans of Gordon's work. She's only just started to read it, but is already deeply into it. Judging by how riveted she is, I'm looking forward to reading it next.We also had tickets to Lions & Tigers & Bears which we saw earlier this week. Just fantastic. You really feel his passion for wildlife and the journey it's taken him on.Grab yourself a book and get tickets for the tour, you won't be disappointed.
